With the advent of the information age, the frequency of emergencies and the scope of their influence are gradually expanding, bringing serious challenges to social stability and public security. In emergencies, public opinion, as a concentrated manifestation of public sentiment and social opinion, spreads and evolves rapidly with far-reaching effects on the direction of events and public sentiment. Therefore, how the government can effectively guide public opinion has become an important part of emergency response.
